Image generation and caching in Laravel
=======================================

[](#image-generation-and-caching-in-laravel)

This Laravel 4 package provides an easy way to generate and cache images on the fly

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `lifeentity/images`.

```
"require": {
    "lifeentity/images": "2.*"
}

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'Lifeentity\Images\ImagesServiceProvider'

```

Next, run this migrate command to create the images table (don't forget to configure your database)

```
php artisan migrate --package=lifeentity/images

```

Optional step, run this artisan command to publish the config file

```
php artisan config:publish lifeentity/images

```

The config file contains information about:

- your images directory
- the base path
- the cache directory name

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Attach any of your models to the image eloquent model.
